When [ENTER] is pressed, a description of the procedure will appear at the
bottom of the MAIN MENU screen, followed by this prompt:
OK to Erase?
Answering [YES] will erase the procedure and leave a procedure called
*TRIAL*.
2.8.1 Erasing From Disk
In order to erase procedures that are saved on a diskette, use option [E
Erase Procedure on Disk]. Be certain to have a diskette in the drive prior to
performing this operation.
When this option is selected, the drive will spin and read the diskette. If
there are no procedures on the diskette, the following prompt appears:
* Disk: No File
- Hit Any Key -
If there are procedures on the diskette, the screen will show the ”Library”
of procedures that are on the diskette. Use the cursor keys to highlight the
procedure to be erased, and press [ENTER].
At the bottom of the screen, just below the procedure description, this
prompt will appear:
OK to Erase?
Answering [YES] will erase the procedure from the diskette and the Library.
Use the cursor keys to highlight the next procedure to be erased or,
[ESCAPE] to return to the MAIN MENU.
2.9 Modifying Weld Procedures
This section details the steps by which to create a new weld procedure or
modify an existing procedure, save a new or modified procedure into memory,
and erase a saved procedure from memory. The functions are only accessible
while in the TEACH MODE.
A pre-programmed weld procedure is a sequence of welding functions
performed over a synchronized time schedule or segmented degrees. With
an automatic weld procedure the ACL can weld with a given current and
weldhead rotor speed over a period of time, or for a given number of degrees.
The ACL software will also allow the operator to program a procedure with
multiple time levels or levels of a certain number of degrees.
Within these levels the current and weldhead rotor speed can be made
to pulse between high and low values and to slope over a given range.
Additionally, the operator can specify the homing characteristics of the rotor
both before and after the weld, whether data monitoring should be performed
and to what tolerances, whether a starting point should be defined, how
reports are to be printed, and whether AC welding is to be performed.
Option [5 Modify Procedure ] allows the operator to change all the
parameters and variables in a weld procedure or create a new procedure
altogether. When creating a new procedure, select one that is most like it,
and substitute new values for those already present, or start with the basic
procedure () and start from scratch.
When modifying a procedure, the following screens will allow modification
and editing:
All references to entered values in this section will pertain to a time based
weld procedure. A description of a degree based weld procedure will
immediately follow this section.
2.9.1 Procedure Identification Screen
A total of four lines, sixteen characters per line, are available for weld
procedure identification, instructions, or messages. Even though data is not
